Why did Anon Babbleee hate it again?

It was a game that did seamless loading screens before ssds. Just picture it as a loading screen and press skip when it's done loading, dumb bitch

Truly horrid turret sections.
Cutscenes after every 4 baddies.
Constantly fucking with my selected weapon.
Undoing the beautiful ending of 2 just to ape Man on Fire.
Subdued arsenal.

Also, on the first playthrough I didn't quite figure out how to get the most out Euphoria hit reactions and new slo-mo/painkiller dynamic. Once I did, it improved the experience a lot.

based game
although max is pretty incompetent in it

It's only gotten better with age. The ways it differs from the previous games have ultimately become its most interesting element. Rockstar could've played it safe and extended the Jersey chapters to cover the whole game, but going with Brazil was a bold choice that paid off.

I just wish the plot wasn't so retarded. I love moments of it, but the contrivances of Max's role in the grand scheme of things make it a mess. However, the idea of Max saving Giovanna and her unborn child is a great full-circle moment for his character and the series as a whole. They can live the life Michelle and Rose never got the chance to have. I see it as a fitting end to Max's story, he can finally find some peace and enjoy his life.

Anon Babble is full of retarded faggot troons that get mad anytime a good game gets made

wanting to skip the cutscenes when they're as good as they are in max payne 3

Even on repeat playthroughs, I don't get it. They're so good and core to the experience.

After writing that I actually found there is a Sam Lake mod for it with an additional file to never go bald. I guess I'll play it finally

You're the dumb fucking bitch. You can call it whatever you want but I don't want UNSKIPPABLE 2 MINUTE LONG FAKE "LOADING SCREENS" in my game. If a game doesn't RESPECT MY TIME then I don't RESPECT THE GAME. Fuck off rockslopper.

before ssds

2012

anon...
The "loading" prompt was always bullshit. It only lets you skip cutscenes faster on the second playthrough, and it's still hit or miss. If it was storage bound, that anon wouldn't have a probem, because by now he'd 100% have SSD speed, but it doesn't make a difference. It never did.

fire up old game Anon Babble shits all over for some reason

it's good and better than anything from the last 10 years

Why is this so common

Always do the opposite of what Anon Babble says

Everyone liked it at the time

why did Anon Babbleee hate it again?

it was different from the first 2

Respect muh time in video games

Oxymoronic.

McCaffrey was on fire in this game

I didn't, it's the best max payne game and I'll die on this hill.

fake loading screens

So when does it load?
This game was on the motherfucking Xbox 360, the greatest gaming console of our time. This boy ran off a spinning disk and was built around these limitations. Do I have to explain that software doesn't just become better on faster hardware? It still does exactly what the programmers told it to do, when building a seamless experience that had to run off of spinning disks

He's really good in Alan Wake 2

unskippable cutscenes

when it came out it was new thing
everyone knows on Anon Babble new thing bad

I want to have fun jumping around doing crazy 360 no scopes and trying out different ways of beating a level. Getting a mandatory 2 minute cutscenes in between or when you restart to try something else because "muh SSD's haven't been invented yet" is annoying and ruins what could've been an amazing game.

Because its a videogame and there will always be a thread on v about why ANY videogame is shit

Unskippable cutscenes everywhere

Two weapons only

Combat is very quick and easy, massively incentivizes headshot spam too

Combat is just a few guys per encounter and then its cutscene time

Turrent/on rail sections

Graphic novel cutscenes are gone, which was a big part of the first two's feel and also would avoid unskippable cutscenes

I actually really like the game but its got big issues.

We tend to stand by our first impressions, and the first trailers were fucking awful, completely missing the core of what a Max Payne game is, and R* majorly course corrected afterward, making it a proper sequel, as well as putting in flashbacks in NYC because they couldn't justify reworking the entire game or it could be seen as admitting to failure on their part. The result was fantastic gameplay but a middling story being pulled in two directions by the mistakes of the early writers and the corrections of the later.
HEALTH - TEARS in the airport is still one of the hardest going levels in any video game ever, however, and completely makes up for what the story is lacking. I've probably replayed that level like 50 times.
.mirrors are more fun than televisioN

Always this.

Then why does it skip cutscenes faster on a save with a cleared campaign, than on a fresh save, genius?
We are talking about a company that right now sells Manhunt on steam with a signed crack from Codex. Because they couldn't be arsed to remove SecuRom. Please, stop sucking their cock a decade+ after their half-assed lies.
Otherwise, please do explain the specific technical reasons, and how it coincides with the existence of a skip mod. Or why little old R* couldn't patch it to this day, even though PC storage, even HDD, were plenty capable at the time, and the releases were days apart.

This nibba is spoiled by minimum requirements in modern games requiring an SSD. And too stupid to understand that games use to be built with limitations

make Max Payne a cover based shooter with no ties to anything from the first game and a totally different style presentation alongside taking away all of Max's evolution from 2 and ignoring the Dead on Arrival ending variation from 2

Gee I wonder.
It's not an awful game but it's basically a skinwalker parading around in the corpse of the franchise in regards to the plot

Muh limitations

They don't exist anymore, it was always just an excuse used by rockstar to justify why the PC port still has the videogame equivalent of a waiter asking you every time you take a bite how your meal is, completely interrupting and ruining the dining/gaming experience.

I don't give a fuck about Rockstar, I like max Payne 3. I like computers. I like software. I like when things were built around limitations because that's when cool things are born.

Otherwise, please do explain the specific technical reasons, and how it coincides with the existence of a skip mod.

You are asking me to be an actual programmer on this game from 15 years ago? Is this the meth again? Okay let me theorize here based solely off the post in this thread about it, the skip mod exists but it can break if you do it at the wrong time. So hardware is faster in loading the data (bigger data pipelines), but the software is streaming in certain things at certain times because it's anticipating thinner pipelines for data and is trying to be as fast as possible with the limitations of a disk from early 2010s.

Or why little old R* couldn't patch it to this day, even though PC storage, even HDD, were plenty capable at the time, and the releases were days apart.

Because players still putting disks in a disk drive fucker, and what incentive does Rockstar have to go back and update the game? Fuck you

Stop smoking meth

straight denial, ok

You are asking me to be an actual programmer on this game from 15 years ago?

well you fucking offered it here

You are asking me to be an actual programmer on this game from 15 years ago?

please lay off the R* cock

meant togrintext this at the end

Do I have to explain that software doesn't just become better on faster hardware?

No, it's more like you ordering pasta, the cooks prepare it, and the waiter brings it to you. You engulf the entire plate in 2 minutes and start yelling in the restaurant, "I NEED MORE FOOD BRING ME MORE FOOD". The waiter tells you, "Sir the cooks are working on it. I will bring you another plate when it is ready, please understand."

"AAAGGGRRHHH I AM STARVING PLEASE JUST USE THE FOOD DIGITIZER, IT PRINTS IN 10 SECONDS"

But it doesn't exist yet, it's 2012

Dude, post a source for it being faster on a complete save then. Otherwise you're just spewing deranged meth induced thoughts. >I FEEL like it's faster
And I posted a logical assumption of what could be happen, you ask for specifics like I could have source code.
Computers do exactly what you tell them <--- this is what you shouldn't need explained

No, it'd actually be closer to the chef individually cooking tiny bites of food for me and then bringing it out 1 lil bit at a time and when I ask the waiter why the chef needs to individually prepare each tiny bit of steak he flips out at me and says "What? Like WITH A PAN? Pans hadn't been INVENTED yet when steaks originally came out and you expect us just to cook your entire steak at once and bring it to you? What the FUCK is your problem?"

I was expecting you to reply, "but we do have food digitizers because we're in the future and have those now" and I'd have to clarify it's a restaurant that is 2010s themed and doing it how it was back then.
But instead of you posted.. this. We're really getting away from the point.
You really can't admit that it was really cool how they made seamless gaming experience on the Xbox 360

There's nothing "seamless" about being forced to watch cutscenes. It had a PC release when SSD's were already common so you can't just cry about the xbox 360. This game is so close to being good but this one flaw makes it unplayable garbage. Truly its aged like milk.

But it had to work on the Xbox 360. It doesn't matter if pc users could have an ssd, the Xbox didn't. They weren't going to ignore that user base. They did something cool, and you enjoyed it.
If you want to enjoy it again, you will have to accept the limitations that came with doing something that innovative in that day.

make a good new IP

dress it up as another good IP

Classic blunder. Do the work and establish your new IP.

The Multiplayer was extremely fun but it was pretty dead with me playing the same people all the time.

It loads during the cutscenes, yes, but it doesnt need to load a 30 second shoot out for 2 minutes.
Its a cool game but only for 1 playthrough
It might be the most movie game ever made

rockshit game

Your dogshjt gta spinoff is not a max payne game
Simple as

You have 0 taste and no standards

She has dyed her hair red

Unskippable cutscenes that immediately cut to action but save before the cutscene so you have to watch it all over again if you die

Max Payne 3 is a cover based shooter

stopped reading there
if you are ever in cover for more then 2 seconds, you simply played MP3 wrong.

360 limitations
we should get cockstar to remaster it

Only good Rockstar game in the last 13 years

It insists upon itself

luv me max payne 3
luv me Health - Tears
'ate Anon Babble's retardation
simple as

Cutscenes, and not because they're bad or too long, but because they interrupt the flow of combat PERPETUALLY. You get AT BEST 4-5 minutes, on average ~2 minutes, of uninterrupted gameplay before you get a 45 second cutscene of Max opening a door and self deprecating (which is kino, but not at the expense of gameplay).
